Jan 16, 20167:21Now PlayingSteve Doocy from Fox News was talking to Crystal Wright. She is brought on to yell at other black people. She’s a black Republican and at Fox News that’s her role. Cenk Uygur, host of the The Young Turks, breaks it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.
"On Monday morning’s Fox and Friends, a featured guest told an approving Steve Doocy that black Americans are “poorer, dumber, and more criminalized,” but don’t worry, folks. It’s not racist because the guest was black, and she was blaming Democrats for all the poor, dumb, murdering blacks.
I’m kidding, of course. Not about the guest, author and ConservativeBlackChick.comproprietor Crystal Wright, who is black, but about the remarks, which are racist. Racist AF.

Along the way, Wright evokes the favorite racist “blacks are killing each other” trope, which would only be true if every black murder victim were also a murderer, but never really gets around to explaining how the Democrats made all those blacks so dumb and murder-y…”*
